Sonnet On Foreign Investment

Seems shameful that some major corporations,

once ours, are owned by foreigners in nations

not ours.  Congress----address this situation:

enact severe and stringent legislation,

to wrest what once was ours from alienation

before the stall of financial stagnation

attacks us by the hundreds, not just dozens,

the way it has in England, to our cousins.

We must return to that great truth that once

was obvious, before these woeful wrongs

beset us:  that U.S.A. belongs

soley and wholly to its citizens.

Before we slide further into more want,

our people need to be more militant.
